Sundays at La Cañada

The time of year has come again when shop employees wish it was a different time of year, as they lose their Sundays. Great news for us and not so much for them!

Yes folks La Cañada is now open on Sundays and shoppers can now enjoy yet another day of shopping at the weekends, somewhat taking the pressure off your Saturdays.

Today, in it´s first Sunday of the month, La Cañada was peaceful for until about 12pm so if you are planning a visit, maybe visit early to avoid the queues. This secret may get out though and the crowds may catch on in he coming weeks, so be prepared.

One drawback to the crowds flocking to the centre is traffic so be prepared to wait patiently when exiting the shopping centre.

Apple is coming to La Cañada

It's true! Apple has decided that the Marbella shopping centre is an ideal location for one of it's few stores in Spain. It's rumoured to be a large store, my opinion, probably the ex-habitat location in the centre of the older section. However we'll have to wait until mid November to find out.

Sales Madness

It´s officially the start of the January sales everywhere. Most of the shops in La Cañada are now displaying some fantastic offers. This however will cause you a long wait if you are planning on going there today. The queues are terrible backing out onto the A7 and with the rain it is worth maybe holding off a day or so.
In addition as we are all aware trying to park underground is a time consuming task as well.

Negatives aside there are some great bargains to be had so good luck.
